Hi friends, how are you? We meet again in our proud community to entertain you all and tell you about my journey to the city of a thousand hills, Takengon.
On the way to Laut Tawar Lake, we stopped at the Grand Portola Renggali Hotel cafe to fill our stomachs while eating instant noodles above the cafe. Today I want to show you all who have always faithfully accompanied me on the journey I have gone through.
This trip became one of my teenage memories when I visited Laut Tawar Lake and felt the cool air of nature that was still pristine and got moments with friends that would not be repeated again.
As usual when we travel to Laut Tawar Lake or to other tourist attractions in Takengon, Central Aceh, we all have to pass through a very narrow road by looking at high hills and deep ravines, we have to be careful because the road on the surface of the hill is not as straight as the road in the city.
after we pass the hills along the way we arrive at the city of Takengon from here we can see the mountain up close of course it is very amazing my eyes were really wide open when I saw this mountain then I immediately took my cellphone to dedicate some pictures so you can see what I see.
after that we stopped in the city of Takengon to take a break while buying drinks then we continued our journey to Laut Tawar lake. To get to Laut Tawar lake we have to go through Takengon city because the journey was still far when we were in the city.
Long story short when I was almost at the freshwater lake I took some pictures as souvenirs and I want to show them to all of you.
Seeing the houses around the road I felt very scared when I imagined when a disaster occurred where they would run if only they would run to the hills because that was the only way to survive.
However, the atmosphere around this housing complex made me very happy even though I was scared but I really wanted to live here because I could feel the cool air and witness the natural scenery and the hilly lake directly.
after that we almost arrived at the portola cafe and the lake was already visible when we headed to the cafe because the road to the top is right next to the lake from here we can witness the beauty of the lake and feel an extraordinary sensation.
This freshwater lake located in the Gayo highlands of Central Aceh is a stunning natural icon. In addition to its historical natural charm, this freshwater lake has its own charm that makes it a popular tourist location in Aceh.
Arriving at Grand Portola, when entering we have to pay an entrance ticket of 10 thousand per motorbike. After paying the entrance ticket, we will park the motorbike in the parking lot. While feeling the cool air, my body was really sore and shaking because throughout the journey we had to wait for the very heavy rain to stop and when we arrived here, coupled with the very cold air at that time, I was really cold even though I was wearing a jacket but it didn't work either.
Freshwater lakes play an important role in supporting the economy of the Gayo community. Activities such as fisheries and agriculture have plantations that are growing quite rapidly around the lake.
The lake also attracts the attention of scientists because of the uniqueness of its ecosystem. Research on the lake provides important insights into the biodiversity of the Gayo highlands.
After enjoying and taking some photos from the Grand Portola area, seeing the beauty of the lake, I couldn't wait to enjoy the view from the top of Portola which is on the edge of the lake.
after a few minutes posing and taking pictures below.
then when we arrived at the top we were immediately greeted by a very friendly employee he showed us to order food and drinks then I immediately ordered instant noodles and avocado juice of course it was very delicious seeing the view while eating noodles and the cold atmosphere made me very happy when I was there.
I felt relieved, because I had arrived at this place, and fortunately at the Laut Tawar Lake tourist spot there were already several visitors who came to this place, although not too crowded, but the presence of these visitors made me even happier because it turned out that they also enjoyed the scenery and atmosphere at this lake. I was really satisfied with my trip here. You must visit this Laut Tawar Lake.
I took some photos and posed on the portola while smiling looking at the natural scenery that was so amazing that I felt very comfortable, it felt like there was no burden on my mind.
Take a look at some of my style photos, I deliberately took some freestyle because I know after this we might not be able to gather like this again.
Okay guys, maybe that's all I can say, I hope you all like and are entertained by my post this time.
I apologize if there are any mistakes in my words because we humans all have the same mistakes.
This trip was very tiring but for the sake of enjoying the view of the lake I didn't care because my goal was to travel while seeing the amazing scenery. I saw on social media that the lake at the foot of the mountain is very beautiful. Therefore, I will make sure that this is indeed very beautiful, very extraordinary. You must travel to Central Aceh in your lifetime in the Gayo land.
All photos are purely my own, I took pictures using my redmi 9c cellphone and all the stories are from my own head and translated with google translate. Thank you.
